I’m a big fan of “luxury” meals that are really easy and take almost no time. Seafood is one of those things that always looks fancy. This is probably one of the first meals I made to impress my now-husband, lol. Now that we live in Charleston, fresh shrimp is abundant. We picked up these beauties at Mount Pleasant Seafood and they did not disappoint.
Other than peeling and de-veining the shrimp, this recipe takes almost no effort. Even though I’m allergic to shrimp, I had to sneak a bite. Divine!
- 2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
- 1 tbsp Franks hot sauce
- 1 tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp garlic olive oil (if you can’t find this, use regular olive oil and a pinch of garlic powder)
- 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tbsp butter, sliced into tablespoons
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Place shrimp on a baking sheet and top with hot sauce, red pepper flakes, olive oil, old bay and Worcestershire.
- Combine with your hands to make sure the shrimp is coated with seasoning and top with dollops of butter.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until the shrimp is coral.

Place shrimp on a baking sheet and top with hot sauce, red pepper flakes, olive oil, old bay and Worcestershire.
Combine with your hands to make sure the shrimp is coated with seasoning and top with dollops of butter.
Bake for 10 minutes, until the shrimp is coral.
Serve with a wedge of lemon, side salad or rolls for dipping into the amazing sauce. You could also toss this with hot fettuccine noodles or zucchini noodles for a heavier meal.
My heart always goes pitter patter for a good seafood dish and shrimp is tops on that list. This looks absolutely delicious and I bet the hot sauce gives it a nice little kick.
Girl, it DOES! Thanks so much for your comment! 😀
Love how easy and delicious these spicy baked shrimp are.. they look like the perfect thing for me to make for dinner tonight!
Do it! It could not be simpler, Thalia! 😀
You know I’m all over this one! I can’t wait to try it! Your photos are mouthwatering.
I know you are, lol! Thanks, Andrea! 😀
Is the shrimp supposed to be frozen or thawed when put into the oven? Thanks!
Hi Alex!
The shrimp should be thawed. I have done it before with frozen shrimp and just added an additional 6 minutes baking time, but it makes the sauce kind of watery and bland. Best bet is to used thawed shrimp 🙂
I did try the recipe and it was missing a hint of salt but it’s a yummy dish
Thanks, Jowell! 🙂
